I should mention that the entire city isn& #39;t under siege like the right-wing media and Faux News would want you to believe. It& #39;s still a beautiful city. https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2020/07/feds-right-wing-media-paint-portland-as-city-under-siege-a-tour-of-town-shows-otherwise.html">https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/...
Feds, right-wing media paint Portland as ‘city under siege.’ A tour of town shows otherwise

In a city of 650,000 spread out over 145 square miles, national figures focus on police crackdowns on protesters on a scant few blocks night after night.

A friend in a FB feed said this due to the acting deputy secretary:

Are they SERIOUSLY trying to pull “they were asking for it, look how they were dressed.”

Yes, social media isn’t helping with the misinformation spread. I had to document that this buffoon of a official had the gall to say “it looks like you’re asking for trouble because of how you are dressed”

It’s not helpful.

Yes I retweet the atrocities at the hands of the feds and PPB during the PEACEFUL PROTESTS.

I must also retweet that the rest of Portland outside that small 6 block radius is normal. (As normal as we can be in a pandemic.)

Just so anyone outside of Portland knows, the only thing I’m under siege from is the hot summer weather. It’s supposed to be hot for a couple more days. I really dislike it above 90.

Adding to the thread, because the narrative that Portland is on fire will not go away. The only thing the entire city is on fire from is mid-90 degree summer weather. Otherwise we good.

Good news!

Now the PPB can be the only ones to beat up on the protesters. (Remember my remember tweet?)

Just so everyone knows, the feds may have been removed from Portland, but that doesn’t mean the violence by “law enforcement” has stopped. PPB is up to their old shenanigans of being violent towards protesters.

Surprise! I’m not done.

The protests haven’t stopped. Today’s was a right wing “protest” downtown. So much fragility is shown here it’s almost unbearable. If the peaceful protesters did this, we’d be under strict curfew daily.

There’s still more. Want to know another reason why Portland has been protesting for 90+ days?

This. This entire thread. The city is continuously bombarded by outsiders trying to tear us apart for being liberal. Yep and BLM

This amazing hero came to the aid of the man who was shot. She could have saved his life. The police made her leave him to die.
